Period. that doesn't answer the question. the answer is that it makes no difference whatsoever. if she wants to delete an app, delete it. nothing is going to break. she can't break anything even if she tried. if you actually wanted to help her, you'd tell her that the date doesn't matter and nothing is going to break. but you won't. instead, you just want to argue.

I think you missed what happened, Michelle. 1. She talks to me on the phone about things on iOS. 2. One of them is how to tell the date a free app was installed. 3. Since I never cared about it, I looked and couldn't find it. 4. I asked, and the answer is no (someone needs to tell Lewis & JR the truth) 5. I tell her no. That's it. The end. There's no need for me to tell her anything. She can't do what she wanted to do. Period. We move on.

She asked how to do it while we were on the phone and I figured it would be trivially easy but then I could only get the last updated date on my iPad. So I told her I'd check (as I often do), and I checked the web and still couldn't get anything more than the last time updated (which is not what she asked for); so, as a last resort, I asked YOU. The answer came back that those with iTunes can get receipts (that's not the case here); and that those who paid for them can get receipts (again, that's not the situation here); and even that those who simultaneously pay for apps and download free apps apparently get receipts (that's not the situation here either). So, I told her it can't be done. She was disappointed, but I've explained to her it's the Apple way (she has read the Jobs biography, so she understood right away) or the highway in this situation. She *still* loves the Apple products though, so, she's undaunted. Disappointed. But undaunted.

So instead of giving her a meaningful explanation, you gave her that bullshit.

Nice creative editing; you (deliberately?) omitted the "Apple way or highway" BS you told her from the quote. Absolutely true, and totally useless, just like Microsoft's support: There was a pilot flying a small charter plane, with several very important executives on board. As they approached the Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles visibility when his instruments went out. So, he began circling around looking for a landmark. After some time he started running low on fuel and the passengers were getting anxious. Finally, a small opening in the fog appeared and the pilot saw a tall building with one guy working alone on the top floor. The pilot banked the plane around, opened the window and shouted to the guy, "Hey where am I?" The office worker replied, "You're in a plane." The pilot closed the window, executed a 275 degree turn executed a perfect blind landing on the runway 5 miles away. Just as the plane came to a halt, so did the engine as the fuel ran out. The passengers were amazed and one asked how he did it. "Simple," replied the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just five miles due East."

The problem here is our mcro-managing megalomaniac, who teaches everybody in his family to use iOS devices th way he thinks they should be used, when he doesn't have a clue as to how they should be used. His "aunt" if she exists, is in deep trouble if she depends on "he of the shifting nym" for advixe & help with iOS devices. >> Heck, you or I can wipe out the entire operating system and it wouldn't >> be cause for concern. > > Don't change the subject.

Remember this is the guy who had to have his arm twisted to buy an iTunes gift card so he could buy an app he was trying to avoid because it wasn't free. Hell he won't let his wife update iOS on her iPad because that will interfere with his Linux only setup. >> So, you have to remember she's even older than Michelle and not >> at all able like you or I am to recover from a mistake. > > My grandfather is older and can do it himself without assistance.

Speaking of receipts, I don't get them all the time for free iOS stuff.
Is that normal? I do get them with redeemed codes though.
